The Tianguang Secret Realm was one of the more famous secret realms in Kamikaze Kenbu. There were countless treasures in the secret realm. Any warrior who could survive the secret realm would have their strength increased.
Of course, opportunities came with risks. There were many dangers in the secret realm. A little carelessness could lead to death.
There were still three months before the Tianguang Secret Realm opened. Fang Chen decided to try his best to reach the Qi Transformation Realm in these three months. That way, he would be able to escape unscathed if he encountered any danger in the Tianguang Secret Realm.
After Yang Hong left, Fang Chen rested. After all, he had almost died in Yao Yun's hands in the Holy Wind Mountain Range.
Early the next morning, Fang Chen once again came to the Sword Art Palace.
Previously, on the first level of the Sword Art Palace, Fang Chen had been forced out of the Sword Art Palace at the stage of 64 phantoms. This time, Fang Chen's Mercury Sword Technique had reached the stage of perfection. He was confident that he could go further.
After paying a thousand Medium Spirit Stones, Fang Chen entered the first level of the Sword Art Palace.
The scene was the same as before. The shadows appeared one after another.
The Quicksilver Sword Art had reached the Perfection Stage. Its power was unimaginable. Fang Chen destroyed the shadows with ease.
Not long after, the number of illusory figures reached 64. Fang Chen had stopped at this point last time. This time, Fang Chen was very confident.
Hiss Hiss
Suddenly, Fang Chen waved the Spiritual Light Sword in his hand and displayed the Quicksilver Sword Art.
The might of the Mercury Sword Art, which was at the Transformative Stage, was several times stronger than when he had been at the Refinement Stage. Therefore, when Fang Chen executed the move, wherever the sword-light passed, the afterimages would crumble.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen did not know how many times he had displayed the Quicksilver Sword Art. In short, after a quarter of an hour, the last shadow was destroyed.
After defeating the last shadow, the Sword Art Palace gave Fang Chen some time to rest. After all, defeating so many shadows consumed a lot of energy.
"The next stage will be 128 phantoms," Fang Chen said softly.
After resting for about three minutes, the entire space suddenly became oppressive. Then, Fang Chen felt a sense of danger.
Puchi
Suddenly, 128 phantoms appeared around Fang Chen. Fang Chen suddenly used the Quicksilver Sword Technique to resist.
Puchi
As the sword light flashed, the illusory figures were constantly being destroyed.
However, as time passed, Fang Chen discovered a weakness of the phantoms, which was that their movement speed was relatively slow.
Fang Chen used his speed to continuously execute the Quicksilver Sword Technique. However, after killing 80 phantoms, the Quicksilver Sword Technique was finally unable to withstand the attacks of the phantoms.
"Diffraction Sword."
Fang Chen suddenly displayed the Diffraction Swordsmanship. One sword light turned into 18 beams, carrying an incomparably tyrannical Sword Qi, and suddenly spread in all directions.
When the Diffraction Swordsmanship was displayed, the phantoms that approached Fang Chen were directly scattered.
"Sword Momentum."
When the Diffraction Swordsmanship was displayed, Fang Chen did not hesitate to display the Sword Momentum. As soon as the tyrannical Sword Momentum appeared, the surrounding phantoms immediately felt a sense of danger.
Puchi
The combination of the Sword Momentum and the Diffraction Swordsmanship was too tyrannical. It directly caused the surrounding phantoms to continuously collapse.
Whoosh!
Under the encirclement of the Sword Momentum, after about an hour, all 128 phantoms were finally defeated by Fang Chen.
After defeating these phantoms, Fang Chen's expression changed slightly, and his body became much weaker.
"It seems that I have reached my limit," Fang Chen thought to himself.
In the history of Kamikaze Kenbu, there was someone who defeated 256 phantoms on the first level of the Sword Technique Palace.
At that moment, Fang Chen was only a step away from the two hundred and fifty-six phantoms.
In the Sword Technique Palace, the further one went, the deeper one's understanding of Sword Principle would be. Moreover, one's mastery of swordsmanship would also be very proficient.
If not for the Mercury Sword Technique reaching the Perfection of Martial Arts and the Sword Momentum, Fang Chen would not have been able to reach this step.
However, in the process of fighting with the phantoms, Fang Chen could also feel that his swordsmanship was also improving.
The first level of the Diffraction Swordsmanship had already reached the Perfection Realm.
The second level was also instantly cultivated with the help of the Golden Heart.
"With the second level of the Diffraction Swordsmanship, my strength has become even more tyrannical," Fang Chen said softly.
After resting for a while, a tyrannical oppression appeared again. Then, Fang Chen found that 256 phantoms appeared around him.
"So many phantoms."
As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, the second level of the Diffraction Swordsmanship was instantly displayed. It directly bombarded the phantoms.
Bang Bang Bang
The number of phantoms was too large. Fang Chen could not completely defeat them in a short time.
As time went by, some wounds appeared on Fang Chen's body. He looked battered and exhausted.
"Bang"
After about 15 minutes, Fang Chen was finally forced out of the Sword Technique Palace.
"I still can't succeed."
Fang Chen smiled bitterly and left the Sword Technique Palace in a sorry state.
When the disciples outside the Sword Technique Palace saw Fang Chen come out, their faces were full of mocking smiles.
"Isn't that Fang Chen? How can he be injured like this in the Sword Technique Palace? What a weirdo."
"Hahaha, I guess he can only defeat 32 phantoms in the Sword Technique Palace at most."
"That's right. A disciple in the Qi Refining Realm wants to enter the Sword Technique Palace. What a joke."
"Sometimes, talent doesn't represent strength. There are countless cultivators who have talent but die halfway through."
Many disciples were mocking Fang Chen, but Fang Chen did not care at all.
Just as Fang Chen was about to turn and leave, a voice stopped Fang Chen.
"Hmph, this kind of trash. I guess his parents must be trash too. Otherwise, how could they have a son like him?"
Fang Chen's footsteps came to a halt when he heard this voice. He immediately turned around and looked at the man who had spoken.
"Say what you just said again," Fang Chen said calmly.
"I said your parents are trash too," the disciple said with a sneer.
This disciple was called Zhou Yu. He was a senior among the junior disciples. His strength had reached the First Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm. He looked down on freshmen like Fang Chen.
Puchi
The surrounding disciples did not even see Fang Chen make a move. They only saw a miserable cry. Everyone looked over in surprise. One of Zhou Yu's arms had been cut off by Fang Chen.
"Ah!"
Zhou Yu looked at his arm, his heart filled with anger.
"This is just a lesson."
After speaking, Fang Chen turned and left.
The surrounding crowd burst into an uproar. They did not understand when Fang Chen had become so strong.
"You bastard, I won't let you off!" Zhou Yu cursed.
Of course, although Zhou Yu was cursing, his heart was filled with fear. How could a freshman be so strong?
In a courtyard in the beginner area, the one-armed Zhou Yu stood quietly. His face was filled with anger, and beside him sat a bewitching man.
"Brother Long, you have to avenge me," Zhou Yu said.
"What a piece of trash. He had an arm cut off by a Qi Refinement Realm disciple, and he still has the face to say that," Long Jun said coldly.
"Brother Long, this kid is a bit strange. In the talent test before entering Kamikaze Kenbu, his talent in the Way of the Sword reached a terrifying fourth grade," Zhou Yu said.
Long Jun's expression changed slightly when he heard the words' Level 4 Sword Principle Talent '. He immediately nodded and said, "I understand. You may leave."
"Thank you, Brother Long," Zhou Yu said.
The next day, a piece of news came from the junior disciple area. The twentieth ranked junior disciple, Han Shan, was going to fight Fang Chen to the death.
After this news spread, countless disciples immediately guessed that this must be Zhou Yu's revenge.
When Fang Chen received this news, he was also stunned, but his expression immediately darkened. Did they really think he was easy to bully?
In the junior disciple area, Fang Chen and Han Shan looked at each other on the Life and Death Arena. Below the arena, there were many disciples who had come to watch the battle.
In a battle to the death, both sides had a knot that could not be untied. Once they stepped onto the Life and Death Arena, it was a matter of life and death.
"Kid, you even dared to touch Brother Long's subordinate. You've got guts," Han Shan said with a contemptuous smile.
"Stupid guy," Fang Chen said disdainfully.
Han Shan was the twentieth ranked junior disciple. His cultivation had reached the Second Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm, but Fang Chen did not fear him.
"You say I'm stupid? Haha, I'll let you know who's the stupid one. Kid, die!"
As soon as Han Shan finished speaking, the long sword in his hand suddenly stabbed towards Fang Chen.
Fang Chen's face was indifferent. The Spiritual Light Sword in his hand immediately displayed the Mercury Sword Technique. In the sky, the Rippling Water turned into a mercury sword light that swept towards Han Shan.
The moment Fang Chen displayed the mercury sword light, the face of the elder presiding over the battle suddenly changed.
"How can it be the Manifestation Realm? Among the new disciples, there's actually someone who can achieve the Manifestation Realm in his sword technique."
The elder's heart was filled with astonishment.
It was extremely difficult to achieve the Manifestation Realm in a sword technique, but this kid in the Qi Cultivation Realm had actually done it.
However, when Fang Chen displayed the Sword Force, the elder was even more shocked.
Possessing the Sword Force, the Manifestation Realm in his sword technique, and a fourth-grade talent in the Way of the Sword. All of these gathered in one person, how heaven-defying was that?
At this moment, on the Life and Death Arena, Fang Chen's Spiritual Light Sword displayed the stunning Mercury Sword Technique, surrounded by the Sword Force.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Han Shan's attack collided with Fang Chen's sword light and exploded.
In the first collision, Han Shan was at a disadvantage.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing that his attack was defeated, Han Shan cried out involuntarily.
In an instant, Han Shan realized that he had been tricked. Such a monstrous genius was actually called trash by them.
"Damn it." Han Shan was depressed, but at this point, he had to grit his teeth and fight.
